Here's a summary of the Dave Ramsey Baby Steps:

1. $1,000 in the Bank (fast!) for a beginner Emergency Fund
2. Pay off all debt (except the house) using the "Debt Snowball" method
3. Finish building the Emergency Fund to 3 - 6 months' worth of expenses
4. Invest 15% of household income in Roth IRA's and pretax retirement (group recommendation: use an online calculator to determine what you need based on your income, age, and current savings. 15% may not be enough, and pre- and post-tax savings are not the same).
5. College Funding
6. Pay off your home early
7. Build Wealth with mutual funds and real estate, and Give!
